A Feench lawyer who succeeded in having himself elected king of Patagonia has been arrested by the authorities of the Argentine Republic, which claims jurisdiction over that, country. .The arrest has been made the subject of protest by a number of French deputies. ; Supplementary returns of Tuesday's voting do not materially change the results as originally announced and summarized in these columns. The supposed ; election of Gaston, Democrat, as Governor of Massachusetts, is confirmed, the Republicans securing the remainder of the State ticket. The Democrats gain seven Congressmen in Pennsylvania, making the delegation - tand twelve Democrats to fifteen Repub licans. The political complexion of the Legislature is in doubt, and the successor- ship of United States Senator Scott there. fore a matter of uncertainty, lhe He publicans claim a majority in the State of about 12,000. In New York the Democrats have elected their State ticket and gained several Congressmen. The general result in Michigan is yet doubtful, both sides claiming the Male, The Legislature, which will elect the suc cessor of Senator Chandler, is also in doubt. Wisconsin seems to be conceded to the Republicans, who have a majority also in the Legislature, securing to them the sua cessor of Senator Carpenter. The returns, from Congressional elcfr tions are not yet sufficiently accurate and complete to settle with certainty the po litioal standing of the next House of Representatives, but the Republicans are honeful of a small majority. In order to secure them the control of the next House the Demoerats should have elected Tues day 115 Congressmen. PERSONS AND THINGS. . Yon know in the old country, when anything unfortunate happens to the eood people, it is called "an affliction, which iB to be overruled for their spirit ual good:" but when it happens to the heterodox, it is "a judgment. ' Wat Lecture. M. D. ConwAT tells a good story of Rothschild in his entertaining article on "Decorative Art in England," in the No vember Harper's. A fop once bothered one of the Rothschilds by boasting of a set of malachite studs he had just bought, and asking the great banker if he did not admire them. "Oh, yes," says RothB-child, "very pretty, indeed; I've got a mantlepiece line mat at nome. "Professor" Donaldsoh, Barnum's balloonist, has had a varied experience. His age is thirtyfour. His father tried to make a lithographer of him, but he had a taste for show life, and he became by turns the "bones" ot a negro nun-atrel com Dan v. a circus gymnast, a tight. . rope walker, a pantomimiat and manager of an exhibition of live Indians. In 1865 we find him a magician, and two years after a " French electro-physician " in Cleveland. His balloon enthusiasm dates back but five or six years. He formerly went through a trapeie act at liia ascensions, ha trinx by one hand or AIM font io the bar at an elevation of 2000 feet. His pet scheme now is to build a balloon in the east to carry thirty nprwinH. and tart across the continent to California. He is very careful in his personal habits, using neither liquor nor tobacco. ,, , , ; .... Oxe actress alone, we are told, wears $2000 worth of dresses in that wretched piece of business called the "Sphinx." Another, io "Frou-Frou carries on her person dresses and jewelry that cost close on to $0000. Others, in "Article 47," "Divorce." "Alixe," etc.. exhibit toilets that represent, it is said, an independent fortune ' in - themselves one favorite, whose name is familiar to theater-goers, appearing in a tingle piece or hvs acta in no lees than seven different dresses, rare- ins in alne from $350 to $1 300 each. A little farther along, and, as if to bring the present times in the strongest possible contrast against the good old days when actors were famed for the manner in whiee. tier played rather than for the aplendor of their dress, we are told that, whereas, before the war, $50 was a large week'a salary for an eatress, "now ah i WBtTT. , . i " ; ; . ; ; - will demand from $100 io $200, besides beneat." Well, suppose she does say $6000 for the year. The awkward ques-tidn at once suggest itself: how the deuce does she manage to save enough, after paying ordinary annual expenses, to sport so many magnificent wardrobes ? And who is to blame if such embarrassing inquiries are put? Surety not the innocent people in whose minds they arise; Let it be charged to the long account of "your clever d d fool of a friend," as somebody calls him, who is eternally crowding himself forward, and always overdoing things.

But dear as amber, fine as musk, Is life to those who, pilgrim-wise. Move hand in hand from duwnto dusk, Each morning nearer Paradise. Oh, not for them shall angels pray! They stand in everlasting light ; They walk in Allah's stubs byday, And nestle in his heart by night. T. B. AUrtch. ANCIENT AMERICANS. Rain of Aboriginal CI tie. Found In Colorado Belles or Our Predecessors on this Continent. During the past summer many inter esting remains of ancient cities were found in Colorado by the United States Geographical Survey Expedition of Pro fessor Hayden. The party were conducted to these by Captain Moss, who knows the country better than any other white man living, and whose exploits equal in interest those of the famous scout Kit Carson or old Jim Bridger. It seems that Capt, Moss, who, understands several Indian languages, and knows their customs, habits, and favorite retreats, had been placed in posses- sion ot iacts wnicn leu mm iu . w lieve that down beyond Baker's Park, in Jthe head-waters of the Rio Mancos, about forty miles from the Utah borders, and a little more than that from the New Mexico line, were some rare and Import ant ruins of an ancient people and ancient cities. The trip was a very tedious one over an almost impassable country. After a week's journeying, a distance of about one hundred miles beyond the most westerly San Juan mines they came to a canon along which, high upon the cliffs, they suddenly got the brst sight of the interesting ruins which they sought ; and further down were still others. There seemed to be three or four classes of these ruined cities, those on the plains, which would indicate a vast population in former times ; others in the bottoms of canons; and me' din cities, or idokb on the summit of the bluffs. All bore evi dence of well-advanced civilization that must have died out aires ago. All the relics found seemed to point back centuries, like those found in Arizona and the Goblin cities described by a recent trader in the head-waters of the unnni- son. mere were large mounua, in hich the piles of bones would in dicate that whole families had been buried. With the few remnants of thoBe that were still undecayed were found agricultural, mining and domestic imple ments. The size ana tengin oi some oi the bones showed that they must have be longed to a race of giants. Fragments of old pottery were strewed around, much of it glazed and finely ornamented. But lower down on the plain were me most remarkable remains parts of towers of well-hewn stone. The base of these was thirty feet in diameter. Their height iB matter or conjecture, ior oniy tne crumbling ruins remain. Around all this were thick walls as it to protect tne people during a siege. There were also large reservoirs. Many scraps and fragments were gathered up by the party, who remained only a few hours; some forty photographs were taken, rroi. Jinaucn received portions of the earthenware, and will analyze the paints that mark mem. Medicine sacss are : aiso piscea in his possession. Jackson's negatives will be heliotyped for illustration in a bulletin descriptive of the character and oeculiarities of this extinct race, which will be published Boon. It is the opinion of members of the survey that the posi tion of these ruins and the heaps in which bonesimplements and household utensils are found, show that tins race, graauauy driven to the mountain lastnesses Dya su-Derior Deonle. and their ranks decimated finally were starved out by siege or carried off by an epidemic. In a single mass were found bones, implements or war, of agri. culture, relics of art. education and do. mestic economy near tne tounaauons oi their swallow-like dwellings, made of stone and mud. So important is this whole matter that Prof. Hayden has secured an expert, well traveled, who will proceed at nnre to the site of these ruins, and spend weeks and months if necessary exhuming and gathering op particles of everything that will throw any light upon the cnar acter and customs of this "lost race." The Father or Waters. Bancroft remarks, in the tenth volume of his "History of the United States," instont: "The Mississippi river is the pledge 01 tne union oi me niaits ui America.' Had they been confined to the eastern slope of the Alleghenies, there would have been no geographical unity between them, and the thread of connection, between lands that inertly fringed the Alleghenies, most soon have been sundered. The Father of Rivers gathers his waters from all the clouds that break between the Alleghenies and the furthest ranges of the Rocky Mountains. The ridnes of the eastern chain bow their heads at the north and the south, so that Inns before science became the compan ion of man, Nature herself pointed out to the barbarous races how short portages join his tributary rivers to those of the Atlantic coast.

The fire at Carroll on last Friday proves to have been a very damaging affair for that village. Two dwellings, two stables, the bridge over the Ohio and Erie canal, and a large field of corn, were totally destroyed. Loss partly covered by insurance. For a while the whole town was endangered, but the vigorous labors of the citizens finally subdued the flames. Mons. Leon walks the rope here this afternoon. ; ! . The city is still enveloped in a dense cloud of smoke from the " pineries." The case of Harry Derol, the United States naval officer who was reported to have been washed overboard from the ship Niobe in the Irish Sea, and whose mother, residing here, received a letter to that effect purporting to have been written by Lieutenant. Commander C. M. Muller, has become more mysterious than ever. Only a few days after Devol's mother received the letter just referred to it was stated that a lady of Gallipolis had received a letter from Harry himself, dated at Liverpool some days later than that from Commander Muller giving the first news of the casualty. Still later, communications were received here direct from Harry by various young friends, and also by his mother. But yet no particulars of the accident or the escape were made public, except that he had 'been rescued after being fourteen hours in the water, and had been brought to JNew ior It by an American vessel. . r l he whole matter has been thrown into a muddle which seems inextricable. .Weather Probabilities. , Washington, Nov. 4.

Common sense shows that a dog should not be corrected for disobedience, unless it is certain he knows his fault; punishment is absolutely necessary at times, and that of the most severe description with certain dispositions, but always be satisfied that the act for which the whip is raised waa committed with a full knowledge that it was wrong. Show mo a cringing and supplicating dog, on being-called, and I will find his master with an uncontrollable temper and entirely unnt to train or manage a puppy; Buch a dog has been unmercifully Bogged and beaten before he has been taught and made to nderBtand his line of duty, and ieartuiot rendition of the lash lor what, he knows not obeys the summons, crouching and creeping. How I detest such an exhibition, pitying the servant and condemning the master. - Dogs are wonderluliy apt to notice cause and effect; it amounts almost to reason, and it is astonishing how readily puppy will repeat an act or pertorm- ance that has once earned a caress or brought a reward. In breaking a dog, we must not crush his spirit, but bis self-will; begin at once in a mild yet firm manner, and have vour youngster under stand that you do not intend to allow any deviation from the path of obedience. With his obedience, you gsin his affec- f.nn fl.w Dfl llttlA Ha nftflRlhlA vpwuvH gooJ behavior, and adopt the check-cord method of training, for it is never-failing, and the dog punishes himself, attributing it more to his own action than to that of his master. Should your setter or pointer show a backwardness in noticing game, or if he appears to have little desire for the chase (and I have known and owned good dogs of fine pedigree thus behindhand, afterward proving excellent), take him into the field with an old stager, until he displays a liking for it; then work him alone'for fear he may grow up with lack of self-dependence, and be satisfied only to back up another dog's point. Make your puppy your companion continually, that he may learn your voice and manner; be patient, and without anger in your lessons to him, and you will surely succeed in his training. The Attempted Suicide of Noted va ariety Actress. Mollie Wilson, the noted singer and dancer on the variety stage, has been playing an engagement at Archer a Theater, in the city of Troy, N. Y. She was once the petted daughter of a Philadelphia merchant. She married when sixteen years old a rich Chicago grain speculator. They quarreled and parted. Then she turned her musical education to low account on the variety stage, playing XT V l I -I I I- 'P in new lora nuu ciavwurni. m xruy she became despondent andself-murderous. The other night she bought lauda num enough for her purpose, getting it in small quantities at various drug stores.

A chambermaid discovered her, however, and doctors were sent for. oat waa far gone into a stupor, and after a stomach' pump had partially restored her she was still drowsy. The doctors said she must be kept awake somehow, and to keep her walking was tne best plan. It was eight o'clock in the evening when the boarders in the hotel began to take turns in pairs at enforcing the treatment. With a man at each arm she was walked up. and down the halls, fast midnight, when all had got tired of the exercise and Mollie was sleepier than ever, two stalwart negroes were hired, lhey took tier into me street, and, half carryin? the slight creature, walked briskly until morning. Then her I , ... n .. . .(.. . t. recovery from the drug and all desire of suicide was complete, one will go back to her home in Philadelphia and retire from the stage. Grace Before Dinner. Belgravia. Charles Lamb, as we all know, wittily debated the question whether we should not ssy grace before going out tor a walk, and prior to the enjoyment of very many social mercies besides meat and drink; and there mav be some people inclined to go even further than this, and while ask ing a blessing on tne iooa, utter aspirations for something beyond the mere solids and liquids on the table. Remember that grace ia not only an expression of gratitude, but a supplication for further favors. We desire that we shall be made truly thankful for what we are about to . I L . ! v. : ! , so much i none-making or flesh-making sustensnce, which will make our frames active and vigorous; but why should we not pray that the cook may not burn the meat, underboil the potatoes, or send np cinders concealed in the spinach? I broke a tooth the other dav with an abominable small coal lying perdu in my vegetables. Why should we not pray that the dinner should be prepared with a sufficient amount of science to absolve as from the necessity of furtively swallowing a salt-spoonful of pepsin behind our table napkin, ia order to allay tne agonies ot indigestion 7 Why should, we not piteously pray that no duns and no bores might call while ws wen at dinner ; that our servants' at 1874. tention, while they were handing round the dishes, might not be distracted by the hoarse-voiced ruthans in the street, who drive quiet neighborhoods to frenzy about dinner time, and who carry on a detestable trade of lying and extortion, under the pretense of selling the evening papers, yelling out, "Death hof Mr. Disraley; horful haccident in the 'Ighgate ill tunnel ; hassassination hof the Merikan President : capture of the Bilboes," and so forth ? ' And, again, why should we not pray that if there were any children at table, they might behave themselves with tolerable decency during the repast? One very hardened man' I heard of long since, who ere be commenced his dinner, used to pray not only for himself but against his foes, " Let not those who de- spitefully use me have any roast duck ; let not mine enemies hare any lobster sauce wilh their turbot; take away the ice-puddings of my enemies," and ! the like. This was exceedingly reprehensible ; yet, my candid friend, can you put your hand upon your heart, and aver that you have never in thecursing-chamber of your heart uttered supplications as these (although couched in no Scriptural phrase), and as fierce as any of those which shock us in the magnificent outpourings of the Eastern scribes? The Art or Skipping. . Saturday Review. i Skipping is an important part of the art of reading, and should be practiced systematically. It is most to be practiced in solid books oy which we mean, ior the purposes of this discussion, books that are read merely for information. Solid or serious reading consists in attending to the matter of a book independently ot the form, except indeed when the form itself is the primary subject of study, as for instance, from the point of view of a philologist or historian of literature. The more solid the book, the more expedient it is to skip, and the more useful it is to know how to skipjudiciously. But when the form is of sensible importance to the reader as compared with the matter or, in less abstract language, when a book is read partly or wholly for entertainment and artistic pleasure, independently of information then the art of skipping is no longer in its proper place, and should be very sparingly used, if at all. It is generally a mistake in poetry, and it is absolutely wrong in a good novel. We do not mean to forbid a cursory glance at a novel or volume of poems about which nothing is known, honestly intended as a preliminary inquiry to ascertain whether it is worth readiag at all. One has a perfect right to look into a book and say that it appears to be worth reading or not worth reading, as the case may be; and the faculty of doing this with a reasonable chance of guessing right is indeed closely connected with the art and mystery of skipping. But we must protest against the habit of tasting a good novel by dips and skips which really is nothing better than taking extracts at random and then pretending to have read the novel. The way of treating the master-pieces of fiction, though we fear it is not uncommon and meets with but little reprehension, we take to be no less vicious and demoralizing than the much-derided practice of skipping in books of Bolid instruction is in truth wholesome and laudable. The same observation applies, though in a less degree, to the reading of poems. A Worthless Man. San Francisco Lettor.l I remember now of a fellow of early days here. His income was a thousand dollars a day. One evening, after busi ness hours, 1 encountered mm leaning listlessly against a post, with his two hands in his pockets, the picture of utter uselessness. I saluted him, and stopped to have a moment's chat, when, after looking at me a moment, he remarked : "You seem to have a pretty good time in this world, and yet 1 see you hard at work eenerallv." I said. "Yes. I can do both." lie sighed and remarked, "l can do neith er." W hat s the matter, old man I iou ave plenty of money. You are good looking young enough. Why don t you enjoy yourself? 'Don't know how ?' Nonsense! Build a nice house get a nice library, books lots of books-fine bones, a yacht, guns, dogs. Shoot, fish, sail, read, drive, and flirt with the girls. Why, man, I could not find time enough, if I had nothing to do, to enjoy all these things. I should spend so much of it on each." He shook his head, say- ng. "Don t want a house tired of horses, Yachting? Makes me sick can't bear water. Never fired a gun in my life hate dogs and women." "Well, what the devil can you do ?" "Nothing, except drink whisky and play cards." I looked at him pityingly, and wondered tbatdame rortune could be such a stupid as to waste all her favors on such a Btick; but then I recollected that she was a female. That fellow had nothing that I envied nothig that 1 wanted nothing that 1 wanted, except bis leisure, and that thou sand dollars a day. He died a couple of years later of the three "W'a" (wine, wo men and whisky). A Waaboe Greeting. . Virginia (Net.) Enterprise , .

He tacked back and forth in front of us a few times, scratching his head, hitching his baggy breeches up under his waist-belt, and iamming his scrap of dingy brown wool bat now on this side and now on tnai side of bis head. At last he suddenly faced squarely about, and, coming up to cob. said: "Wnarabouts in hen nave i seea you, stranger?" "I don't know," coolly and in his kindliest tone answered Bob: "what part of hell have you been in, my friend? lhe wild eyed man" smiled solemn smile, and said something about bis camp and a pot of beans on the bead- waters or bitter creek.

Brvan Tvson. Washington City, gives the following method for making pills to destroy moles : Make a stiff dough of corn-meat, mixing with a small quantity of arsenic Make a hole with a linger in the run-ways, drop in a lump of dough about the site of a marble, and then cover over with a lump of earth to exclude the light. After the first rain go over the field again and deposit In 11 freshly made roads. I once concluded to plant a piece of sandy bottom land in sweet potatoes, bnt as it was much infested by moles my success depended on first exterminating them. A few doses of arsenic given in the way described brought the desired result, and it was a very rare circumstance to see the track of a mole in this piece of ground during the entire summer. of t'fic American.

A Feench lawyer who succeeded in having himself elected king of Patagonia has been arrested by the authorities of the Argentine Republic, which claims jurisdiction over that, country. .The arrest has been made the subject of protest by a number of French deputies. ; Supplementary returns of Tuesday's voting do not materially change the results as originally announced and summarized in these columns. The supposed ; election of Gaston, Democrat, as Governor of Massachusetts, is confirmed, the Republicans securing the remainder of the State ticket. The Democrats gain seven Congressmen in Pennsylvania, making the delegation - tand twelve Democrats to fifteen Repub licans. The political complexion of the Legislature is in doubt, and the successor- ship of United States Senator Scott there. fore a matter of uncertainty, lhe He publicans claim a majority in the State of about 12,000. In New York the Democrats have elected their State ticket and gained several Congressmen. The general result in Michigan is yet doubtful, both sides claiming the Male, The Legislature, which will elect the suc cessor of Senator Chandler, is also in doubt. Wisconsin seems to be conceded to the Republicans, who have a majority also in the Legislature, securing to them the sua cessor of Senator Carpenter. The returns, from Congressional elcfr tions are not yet sufficiently accurate and complete to settle with certainty the po litioal standing of the next House of Representatives, but the Republicans are honeful of a small majority. In order to secure them the control of the next House the Demoerats should have elected Tues day 115 Congressmen. PERSONS AND THINGS. .

' Wat Lecture. M. D. ConwAT tells a good story of Rothschild in his entertaining article on "Decorative Art in England," in the No vember Harper's. A fop once bothered one of the Rothschilds by boasting of a set of malachite studs he had just bought, and asking the great banker if he did not admire them. "Oh, yes," says RothB-child, "very pretty, indeed; I've got a mantlepiece line mat at nome. "Professor" Donaldsoh, Barnum's balloonist, has had a varied experience. His age is thirtyfour. His father tried to make a lithographer of him, but he had a taste for show life, and he became by turns the "bones" ot a negro nun-atrel com Dan v. a circus gymnast, a tight. . rope walker, a pantomimiat and manager of an exhibition of live Indians. In 1865 we find him a magician, and two years after a " French electro-physician " in Cleveland. His balloon enthusiasm dates back but five or six years. He formerly went through a trapeie act at liia ascensions, ha trinx by one hand or AIM font io the bar at an elevation of 2000 feet. His pet scheme now is to build a balloon in the east to carry thirty nprwinH. and tart across the continent to California. He is very careful in his personal habits, using neither liquor nor tobacco. ,, , , ; .... Oxe actress alone, we are told, wears $2000 worth of dresses in that wretched piece of business called the "Sphinx."

A little farther along, and, as if to bring the present times in the strongest possible contrast against the good old days when actors were famed for the manner in whiee. tier played rather than for the aplendor of their dress, we are told that, whereas, before the war, $50 was a large week'a salary for an eatress, "now ah i WBtTT. , . i " ; ; . ; ; - will demand from $100 io $200, besides beneat." Well, suppose she does say $6000 for the year. The awkward ques-tidn at once suggest itself: how the deuce does she manage to save enough, after paying ordinary annual expenses, to sport so many magnificent wardrobes ? And who is to blame if such embarrassing inquiries are put? Surety not the innocent people in whose minds they arise; Let it be charged to the long account of "your clever d d fool of a friend," as somebody calls him, who is eternally crowding himself forward, and always overdoing things.

Found In Colorado Belles or Our Predecessors on this Continent. During the past summer many inter esting remains of ancient cities were found in Colorado by the United States Geographical Survey Expedition of Pro fessor Hayden. The party were conducted to these by Captain Moss, who knows the country better than any other white man living, and whose exploits equal in interest those of the famous scout Kit Carson or old Jim Bridger. It seems that Capt, Moss, who, understands several Indian languages, and knows their customs, habits, and favorite retreats, had been placed in posses- sion ot iacts wnicn leu mm iu . w lieve that down beyond Baker's Park, in Jthe head-waters of the Rio Mancos, about forty miles from the Utah borders, and a little more than that from the New Mexico line, were some rare and Import ant ruins of an ancient people and ancient cities. The trip was a very tedious one over an almost impassable country. After a week's journeying, a distance of about one hundred miles beyond the most westerly San Juan mines they came to a canon along which, high upon the cliffs, they suddenly got the brst sight of the interesting ruins which they sought ; and further down were still others. There seemed to be three or four classes of these ruined cities, those on the plains, which would indicate a vast population in former times ; others in the bottoms of canons; and me' din cities, or idokb on the summit of the bluffs. All bore evi dence of well-advanced civilization that must have died out aires ago. All the relics found seemed to point back centuries, like those found in Arizona and the Goblin cities described by a recent trader in the head-waters of the unnni- son. mere were large mounua, in hich the piles of bones would in dicate that whole families had been buried. With the few remnants of thoBe that were still undecayed were found agricultural, mining and domestic imple ments. The size ana tengin oi some oi the bones showed that they must have be longed to a race of giants. Fragments of old pottery were strewed around, much of it glazed and finely ornamented. But lower down on the plain were me most remarkable remains parts of towers of well-hewn stone. The base of these was thirty feet in diameter. Their height iB matter or conjecture, ior oniy tne crumbling ruins remain. Around all this were thick walls as it to protect tne people during a siege. There were also large reservoirs. Many scraps and fragments were gathered up by the party, who remained only a few hours; some forty photographs were taken, rroi. Jinaucn received portions of the earthenware, and will analyze the paints that mark mem. Medicine sacss are : aiso piscea in his possession. Jackson's negatives will be heliotyped for illustration in a bulletin descriptive of the character and oeculiarities of this extinct race, which will be published Boon.

In a single mass were found bones, implements or war, of agri. culture, relics of art. education and do. mestic economy near tne tounaauons oi their swallow-like dwellings, made of stone and mud. So important is this whole matter that Prof. Hayden has secured an expert, well traveled, who will proceed at nnre to the site of these ruins, and spend weeks and months if necessary exhuming and gathering op particles of everything that will throw any light upon the cnar acter and customs of this "lost race."

Had they been confined to the eastern slope of the Alleghenies, there would have been no geographical unity between them, and the thread of connection, between lands that inertly fringed the Alleghenies, most soon have been sundered.

Only a few days after Devol's mother received the letter just referred to it was stated that a lady of Gallipolis had received a letter from Harry himself, dated at Liverpool some days later than that from Commander Muller giving the first news of the casualty. Still later, communications were received here direct from Harry by various young friends, and also by his mother. But yet no particulars of the accident or the escape were made public, except that he had 'been rescued after being fourteen hours in the water, and had been brought to JNew ior It by an American vessel. . r l he whole matter has been thrown into a muddle which seems inextricable. .Weather Probabilities. , Washington, Nov. 4.

Common sense shows that a dog should not be corrected for disobedience, unless it is certain he knows his fault; punishment is absolutely necessary at times, and that of the most severe description with certain dispositions, but always be satisfied that the act for which the whip is raised waa committed with a full knowledge that it was wrong. Show mo a cringing and supplicating dog, on being-called, and I will find his master with an uncontrollable temper and entirely unnt to train or manage a puppy; Buch a dog has been unmercifully Bogged and beaten before he has been taught and made to nderBtand his line of duty, and ieartuiot rendition of the lash lor what, he knows not obeys the summons, crouching and creeping. How I detest such an exhibition, pitying the servant and condemning the master. - Dogs are wonderluliy apt to notice cause and effect; it amounts almost to reason, and it is astonishing how readily puppy will repeat an act or pertorm- ance that has once earned a caress or brought a reward. In breaking a dog, we must not crush his spirit, but bis self-will; begin at once in a mild yet firm manner, and have vour youngster under stand that you do not intend to allow any deviation from the path of obedience. With his obedience, you gsin his affec- f.nn fl.w Dfl llttlA Ha nftflRlhlA vpwuvH gooJ behavior, and adopt the check-cord method of training, for it is never-failing, and the dog punishes himself, attributing it more to his own action than to that of his master. Should your setter or pointer show a backwardness in noticing game, or if he appears to have little desire for the chase (and I have known and owned good dogs of fine pedigree thus behindhand, afterward proving excellent), take him into the field with an old stager, until he displays a liking for it; then work him alone'for fear he may grow up with lack of self-dependence, and be satisfied only to back up another dog's point. Make your puppy your companion continually, that he may learn your voice and manner; be patient, and without anger in your lessons to him, and you will surely succeed in his training. The Attempted Suicide of Noted va ariety Actress. Mollie Wilson, the noted singer and dancer on the variety stage, has been playing an engagement at Archer a Theater, in the city of Troy, N. Y. She was once the petted daughter of a Philadelphia merchant. She married when sixteen years old a rich Chicago grain speculator. They quarreled and parted. Then she turned her musical education to low account on the variety stage, playing XT V l I -I I I- 'P in new lora nuu ciavwurni. m xruy she became despondent andself-murderous. The other night she bought lauda num enough for her purpose, getting it in small quantities at various drug stores. In her room at the Union Hotel she swal lowed the drug, and stretched herself out on the bed to die. A chambermaid discovered her, however, and doctors were sent for. oat waa far gone into a stupor, and after a stomach' pump had partially restored her she was still drowsy. The doctors said she must be kept awake somehow, and to keep her walking was tne best plan. It was eight o'clock in the evening when the boarders in the hotel began to take turns in pairs at enforcing the treatment. With a man at each arm she was walked up. and down the halls, fast midnight, when all had got tired of the exercise and Mollie was sleepier than ever, two stalwart negroes were hired, lhey took tier into me street, and, half carryin? the slight creature, walked briskly until morning. Then her I , ... n .. . .(.. . t. recovery from the drug and all desire of suicide was complete, one will go back to her home in Philadelphia and retire from the stage. Grace Before Dinner. Belgravia. Charles Lamb, as we all know, wittily debated the question whether we should not ssy grace before going out tor a walk, and prior to the enjoyment of very many social mercies besides meat and drink; and there mav be some people inclined to go even further than this, and while ask ing a blessing on tne iooa, utter aspirations for something beyond the mere solids and liquids on the table. Remember that grace ia not only an expression of gratitude, but a supplication for further favors. We desire that we shall be made truly thankful for what we are about to . I L . ! v. : ! , so much i none-making or flesh-making sustensnce, which will make our frames active and vigorous; but why should we not pray that the cook may not burn the meat, underboil the potatoes, or send np cinders concealed in the spinach? I broke a tooth the other dav with an abominable small coal lying perdu in my vegetables. Why should we not pray that the dinner should be prepared with a sufficient amount of science to absolve as from the necessity of furtively swallowing a salt-spoonful of pepsin behind our table napkin, ia order to allay tne agonies ot indigestion 7 Why should, we not piteously pray that no duns and no bores might call while ws wen at dinner ; that our servants' at 1874. tention, while they were handing round the dishes, might not be distracted by the hoarse-voiced ruthans in the street, who drive quiet neighborhoods to frenzy about dinner time, and who carry on a detestable trade of lying and extortion, under the pretense of selling the evening papers, yelling out, "Death hof Mr. Disraley; horful haccident in the 'Ighgate ill tunnel ; hassassination hof the Merikan President : capture of the Bilboes," and so forth ? ' And, again, why should we not pray that if there were any children at table, they might behave themselves with tolerable decency during the repast? One very hardened man' I heard of long since, who ere be commenced his dinner, used to pray not only for himself but against his foes, " Let not those who de- spitefully use me have any roast duck ; let not mine enemies hare any lobster sauce wilh their turbot; take away the ice-puddings of my enemies," and ! the like. This was exceedingly reprehensible ; yet, my candid friend, can you put your hand upon your heart, and aver that you have never in thecursing-chamber of your heart uttered supplications as these (although couched in no Scriptural phrase), and as fierce as any of those which shock us in the magnificent outpourings of the Eastern scribes? The Art or Skipping. . Saturday Review. i Skipping is an important part of the art of reading, and should be practiced systematically. It is most to be practiced in solid books oy which we mean, ior the purposes of this discussion, books that are read merely for information. Solid or serious reading consists in attending to the matter of a book independently ot the form, except indeed when the form itself is the primary subject of study, as for instance, from the point of view of a philologist or historian of literature. The more solid the book, the more expedient it is to skip, and the more useful it is to know how to skipjudiciously. But when the form is of sensible importance to the reader as compared with the matter or, in less abstract language, when a book is read partly or wholly for entertainment and artistic pleasure, independently of information then the art of skipping is no longer in its proper place, and should be very sparingly used, if at all. It is generally a mistake in poetry, and it is absolutely wrong in a good novel. We do not mean to forbid a cursory glance at a novel or volume of poems about which nothing is known, honestly intended as a preliminary inquiry to ascertain whether it is worth readiag at all. One has a perfect right to look into a book and say that it appears to be worth reading or not worth reading, as the case may be; and the faculty of doing this with a reasonable chance of guessing right is indeed closely connected with the art and mystery of skipping. But we must protest against the habit of tasting a good novel by dips and skips which really is nothing better than taking extracts at random and then pretending to have read the novel. The way of treating the master-pieces of fiction, though we fear it is not uncommon and meets with but little reprehension, we take to be no less vicious and demoralizing than the much-derided practice of skipping in books of Bolid instruction is in truth wholesome and laudable. The same observation applies, though in a less degree, to the reading of poems. A Worthless Man. San Francisco Lettor.l I remember now of a fellow of early days here. His income was a thousand dollars a day. One evening, after busi ness hours, 1 encountered mm leaning listlessly against a post, with his two hands in his pockets, the picture of utter uselessness. I saluted him, and stopped to have a moment's chat, when, after looking at me a moment, he remarked : "You seem to have a pretty good time in this world, and yet 1 see you hard at work eenerallv." I said. "Yes. I can do both." lie sighed and remarked, "l can do neith er." W hat s the matter, old man I iou ave plenty of money. You are good looking young enough. Why don t you enjoy yourself? 'Don't know how ?' Nonsense! Build a nice house get a nice library, books lots of books-fine bones, a yacht, guns, dogs. Shoot, fish, sail, read, drive, and flirt with the girls. Why, man, I could not find time enough, if I had nothing to do, to enjoy all these things. I should spend so much of it on each." He shook his head, say- ng. "Don t want a house tired of horses, Yachting? Makes me sick can't bear water. Never fired a gun in my life hate dogs and women." "Well, what the devil can you do ?" "Nothing, except drink whisky and play cards." I looked at him pityingly, and wondered tbatdame rortune could be such a stupid as to waste all her favors on such a Btick; but then I recollected that she was a female. That fellow had nothing that I envied nothig that 1 wanted nothing that 1 wanted, except bis leisure, and that thou sand dollars a day. He died a couple of years later of the three "W'a" (wine, wo men and whisky). A Waaboe Greeting. . Virginia (Net.) Enterprise , . Yesterday, as we were standing near the corner of C and Union streets, chatting with our old-time friend, Bob How-land, a Queer, shaggy-haired, wild-eyed chao. evidently just in from some of the eastward-lying desert regions oi tne state, hove in sight. JNow, JJob himself Is a regular roving, prospecting critter a man who has delved and posted his "no- tices" in about half the camps on the Pacific coast. Bab. indeed, with much justice, may claim to have made Meadow Lake and Aurora and uorno what mey are. Our wild-eyed stranger had evi dently seen Bob somewhere. He tacked back and forth in front of us a few times, scratching his head, hitching his baggy breeches up under his waist-belt, and iamming his scrap of dingy brown wool bat now on this side and now on tnai side of bis head. At last he suddenly faced squarely about, and, coming up to cob. said: "Wnarabouts in hen nave i seea you, stranger?" "I don't know," coolly and in his kindliest tone answered Bob: "what part of hell have you been in, my friend? lhe wild eyed man" smiled solemn smile, and said something about bis camp and a pot of beans on the bead- waters or bitter creek. Instantly be and Bob rushed into each other's arms, and for some moments each was diligently en gaged in shedding tears of the largest sixe upon the shoulder ot the other. Tev Destroy Moles. Brvan Tvson. Washington City, gives the following method for making pills to destroy moles : Make a stiff dough of corn-meat, mixing with a small quantity of arsenic Make a hole with a linger in the run-ways, drop in a lump of dough about the site of a marble, and then cover over with a lump of earth to exclude the light. After the first rain go over the field again and deposit In 11 freshly made roads. I once concluded to plant a piece of sandy bottom land in sweet potatoes, bnt as it was much infested by moles my success depended on first exterminating them. A few doses of arsenic given in the way described brought the desired result, and it was a very rare circumstance to see the track of a mole in this piece of ground during the entire summer. of t'fic American.
